Wow, I never knew about that whopper turd on display. I wonder what it actually is. Maybe it's a hoax created with mud or something. And what's that behind it - is that a photo of the turd sitting on a truck tailgate or what?

For an object not renowned for rigidity how do they move it from ground to tailgate to museum and keep it in one piece?

If it's an authentic found fece it could have a consistency that does allow that kind of collection.

I'm curious about the provenance and if it's confirmable. Where and when was it found and in what environment? What was its shape when found - was it later "assembled" to appear as a single continuous fece? Are there photos of it in situ? Etc.

What's the deal with that logo? The right half looks more or less like your traditional footie face, all apelike and such. But the left side looks like some dude with weird facial tats, and maybe an auxiliary orifice or two on his forehead. Doe this have some symbolic meeting, or is it some sasquatch in-joke or something??

That half is what you look like after BigFoot drops a BigPoo on your face

When I read this, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What exactly is a Bigfoot Research and Tech Vehicle? Because if it's the vehicle pictured above, it look's like they just slapped some stickers on their car door.

More likely removable magnetics. Then any vehicle can be instantly converted into a "Bigfoot Research and Tech Vehicle" at a moments notice.
Except new Ford trucks. They're made of aluminum.

ETA: How, would any earthly creature, Figboot, or anything else, lay such a log, in such a long straight line? Get up to a good run and just hork it out mid-stride? I mean, seriously, this is a more important question than what did it, it's HOW, how it did it???

It gets even worse AND I can't look away. Somehow someway he found another protoplasm ("Hey how are ya Phil, have a piece of lettuce.") of like mind. Is it a female? Only you can decide!

It shoots out horizontal at high speed and squidges down like toothpaste from a tube.

Think of this when you brush your teeth tonight.

I'm guessing you've done the necessary scientific research to back this up, including, but not limited to, creative scale modeling that would be required to verify the above linear excrement hypotenuse, so I won't bother to ask, and will simply take you at your word. Thanks again for the colorful and vivid explanation.

The whole thing is another example of the pseudoscience on display with the turd. I mean, a 33" turd sounds impressive, right? It must be from a bigfoot, right? Well, how long are human and/or black bear poops when laid end-to-end on a truck bed?

It might not be the work of a single Bigfoot. Think of an assistant such as a doctor delivering a baby. A Bigfoot needs to poop and he has a buddy with him. The buddy uses his hands to delicately "deliver" the turd as a single continuous emission. This behavior could be instinctual or maybe culturally derived.

That's just stupid, you should be embarrassed. If you look at the clasper of a dragonfly you will see that they are perfectly shaped for this operation, assuming a very large dragonfly, of course.
